THEO 1422 The Sacred Page: The Bible
The Bible has been an influential and often fundamental source for many modern, Western views of God, nature, human beings, a just society, and the origin and destiny of humanity and the world. An intelligent, serious reading of the Bible raises most of the enduring questions that have traditionally stood at the center of philosophical and theological debate. Thus, a thorough analysis of biblical texts in terms of the central concerns of the core curriculum will be the primary goal of THEO 1422 The Sacred Page: The Bible. Satisfies Core requirement for: Theology (Sacred Texts and Traditions)
